Speaking exclusively to IRNA here, Martonyi referred to the upcoming talks between Iran and the G5+1 noting that he was optimistic about the outcome of the gathering which is to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, on October 15-16.
Touching upon long history of Tehran-Budapest relations, Martonyi said the two capitals enjoy friendly ties.
He said Hungary has maintained its economic ties with Iran despite sanctions imposed on the country by western powers.
As a member of the European Union, Budapest would try to help remove the anti-Iran sanctions through Tehrans closer cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Martonyi stressed.
